Admittedly, you’re probably thinking more about the sizzling heat of the desert rather than a ‘Merry Christmas!’, when it comes to cacti. But if you like something a bit different, then you can work with the whimsical shapes of cacti to create a seasonal scene. Certain varieties of cacti carry their own brightly coloured baubles on their heads (the gymnocalycium), but there are other softer ways to add festive cheer to your favourite cactus. Place battery-powered fairy lights and a bit of artificial snow around your houseplants to turn your desert delight into a winter wonderland!
